My last post had suggestions for teaching your kids about the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Here are a few activities I did with my kids every year to help them celebrate Thanksgiving in a way they could relate to:

My kids LOVED to dress up and act out the first Thanksgiving. We eventually bought Pilgrim and Indian costumes and the kids got hours of use from them. (My grandkids are still using them now). Kids retain information so much better when they can act it out and role play.

Who We Are

We are Rick and Marilyn Boyer-
We've been married for over 40 years, and we have 14 children!

We began homeschooling back in the '80s, when not many had heard of home education. More than 35 years later, we are homeschooling our last child, and all of our children have been homeschooled from preschool through high school!

Needless to say- through parenting and teaching many different personalities, raising a large family, choosing curriculum, following interests, teaching through ups and downs, making mistakes, and trusting God- we have learned some things!

We now travel to different places around the country each year speaking to home educators about successful homeschooling and raising kids with excellent character. We also own Character Concepts, which produces and sells resources for the homeschooling family that are geared toward character development.

Our passion is helping parents:
- Build Strong Families with God at the Center
- Raise Children who have excellent Character
- Pass on the Rich Heritage our nation was founded on
